The 5th day of the qualifiers promises to be decisive in many groups. In group C, apart from Egypt which obtained its ticket by making a solid score (12 points out of 12), the 03 other teams will engage in remote duels.
Egypt, sole master on board
The Pharaohs held their position as leader in this group. Dominators of all their matches, Mohamed Salah and his teammates have already obtained their ticket to Morocco. 04 victories in 04 matches. Despite the difficulties, particularly during the double confrontation against Mauritania, Egypt, seven-time African champion, came through. Facing Cape Verde on Friday, Hossam Hassan, the former Pharaoh, has the possibility of rotating his squad. But be careful of being bitten by blue sharks, in search of victory.
Cape Verde, Mauritania, Botswana, the battle is tough
If it seems in a good position to qualify, Botswana (2nd, 6 points) needs to achieve a good result on this 5th day against Mauritania. Botswana was able to relaunch itself in this campaign by emerging victorious from the double confrontation against Cape Verde (1-0, 1-0). Facing Mauritania, Botswana has an obligation to win to protect itself. A victory, combined with a poor result for Cape Verde, would send it to the final phase.
Cape Verde (3rd, 3 pts), plays its qualification against Egypt. In a distant duel with Mauritania and Botswana, the Blue Sharks are condemned to victory hoping for a bad result from Botswana to hope to stay in the ranking.
Mauritania, 4th in the group with 3 points, also needs a victory. After a success obtained during the first day, the Morabitounes are playing for their survival against… Botswana, their only victim of the group. Any result, other than a victory, would definitively condemn Mauritania.
Situation in group C:
1er : Egypt 12 pts, +10 (Q)
2è : Botswana 6 pts, -3
3 o’clock : Cap Vert 3 pts, -3
4is : Mauritania 3 pts, -4
